Stevensville man dies after motorcycle crash

A 53-year-old man from Stevensville died Sunday, roughly 16 hours after his motorcycle hit a guardrail on Route 18 in Grasonville.

Maryland State Police said in a media release that Daniel Edward Hurley was driving a 2016 Indian Scout motorcycle on westbound Route 18 just west of Kent Narrows Way North around 10:25 p.m. Saturday night. For unknown reasons, Hurley was driving on the center line of the road, where his motorcycle struck the initial guardrail that divides lanes over the Old Kent Narrows bridge, police said.

The collision threw him from his bike. He was taken to the R Adams Cowley Shock Trauma Center in Baltimore by state police helicopter, police said. At 2:17 p.m. Sunday, Hurley succumbed to his injuries.

The investigation into the incident is continuing, police said.
